Lorenzo de' Medici (1 January 1449 – 9 April 1492) was an Italian statesman and de facto ruler of the Florentine Republic during the Italian Renaissance. Known as Lorenzo the Magnificent (Lorenzo il Magnifico) by contemporary Florentines, he was a diplomat, politician and patron of scholars, artists, and poets. Perhaps what he is most known for is his contribution to the art world, giving large amounts of money to artists so they may create master works of art. His life coincided with the high point of the early Italian Renaissance; his death marked the end of the Golden Age of Florence. The fragile peace he helped maintain between the various Italian states collapsed with his death. Lorenzo de' Medici is buried in the Medici Chapel in Florence.
Lorenzo's grandfather, Cosimo de' Medici, was the first member of the Medici family to combine running the Medici bank with leading the Republic. Cosimo, one of the wealthiest men in Europe, spent a very large portion of his fortune in government and philanthropy. He was a patron of the arts and funded public works. Lorenzo's father, Piero 'the Gouty' de' Medici, was also at the center of Florentine life, active as an art patron and collector. His mother Lucrezia Tornabuoni was a poet and writer of sonnets. She was also a friend to figures such as Luigi Pulci and Agnolo Poliziano and became her son's advisor when he took over power.
Ohhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhh
Waited for the right one to find me
Wondered when the right one would come, would i
Would i see him that instant i see him, and i
And my hearts found that one
[Chorus]
Would I know
If he was right here beside, would i see
If he was infront of me, would i feel
Somthing inside that would let me know
That its right, that its real, would i see
Would i know
[Verse 2]
Waited for the right eyes to see me
Reaching for the right arms to hold, would i
Would i know i was just getting further, would i
Know when im getting close
[Chorus]
Would I know
If he was standing beside, would i see
If he was the one for me, would i feel
Something inside that would let me know
That its right, that its real, would i see
Could i trust what i feel
Would i knoooow
Would I see the one that i have signs for
Would i feel from that feeling inside
Would i know from inside of my soul
Would i knoooow

Something inside that lets me knoe
That its right, that its real, i can see

Ohhhhhhh
Something inside that lets me know
That its right, that its real, i can see
